Disc Brakes Meet Cyclocross Bikes at Sea Otter

Enve Composites CX Fork

5 / 6

Enve Composites showed an eye-catching ’cross fork made specifically for use with disc brakes. The fork is among the stiffest on the market, helping to reduce brake chatter during sudden stops. Instead of bonding the fork legs to the steerer, Enve uses continuous sheets of carbon from the bottom of the dropouts to the top of the steerer to create a one-piece design, thereby eliminating potential weak points on carbon components. The steerer tapers from a 1-1/2-inch lower bearing to a 1-1/4-inch upper bearing.
